A population of beetles are growing according to a linear growth model. The initial population (week 0) is

P0=6, and the population after 8 weeks is P8=86 Find an explicit formula for the beetle population after n weeks.

After how many weeks will the beetle population reach 236?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The number of weeks it will take for the  beetle population to reach 236 is 28.75.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quantity starts at size P₀ and grows by d every time period, then the

quantity after n time periods can be determined using explicit form:

[tex]P_{n} = P_{0} + d \cdot n[/tex]

Here,

d = the common difference, i.e. the amount  that the population changes each time n is increased by 1.

In this case it is provided that the original population of beetle was:

P₀ = 6; (week 0)

And the population after 8 weeks was,

P₈ = 86

Compute the value of d as follows:

[tex]P_{8} = P_{0} + d \cdot 8\\86=6+8d\\86-6=8d\\80=8d\\d=10[/tex]

Thus, the explicit formula for the beetle population after n weeks is:

[tex]P_{n}=P_{0}+8n[/tex]

Compute the number of weeks it will take for the  beetle population to reach 236 as follows:

[tex]P_{n}=P_{0}+8n\\\\236=6+8n\\\\8n=236-6\\\\8n=230\\\\n=28.75[/tex]

Thus, the number of weeks it will take for the  beetle population to reach 236 is 28.75.

[tex]PLiability= \frac{6000}{1.05^{4} }[/tex]

[tex]\frac{6000}{1.05^{4} }=\frac{A}{1.05^{2} }+\frac{B}{1.05^{6} }\\\\6000(1.05^{2} ) = (1.05^{4} ) +B\\B= 6000(1.05^{2} )-(1.05^{4} )----------(1)\\\\[/tex]

[tex]4=2*\frac{\frac{A}{1.05^2} }{\frac{6000}{1.05^4} } +6*\frac{\frac{B}{1.05^6} }{\frac{6000}{1.05^4} } \\4={\frac{6000}{1.05^4}= 2*\frac{A}{1.05^2} +6*\frac{B}{1.05^6}\\\\4[6000(1.05^2)]= 2*A(1.05^4)+6*B[/tex]

From equation 1 we have

[tex]4[6000(1.05^2)]= 2*A(1.05^4)+6*6000(1.05^2)-6*A(1.05^4)\\4*A(1.05^4)=2*6000(1.05^2)\\A=\frac{2*6000(1.05^2)}{4*(1.05^4)} \\A=272.088435\\[/tex]

Hitchhiker Snails A type of small snail is very widespread in Japan, and colonies of the snails that are genetically similar have been found very far apart. Scientists wondered how the snails could travel such long distances. A recent study1 provides the answer. Biologist Shinichiro Wada fed live snails to birds and found that of the snails were excreted live out the other end. The snails apparently are able to seal their shells shut to keep the digestive fluids from getting in.
What is the best estimate for the proportion of all snails of this type to live after being eaten by a bird?

Answers

Answer: 0.149

Step-by-step explanation:

As Scientists wondered how the snails could travel such long distances. A recent study provides the answer. Biologist Shinichiro Wada fed 174 live snails to birds and found that 26 of the snails were excreted live out the other end.

The best estimate for the proportion of all snails of this type to live after being eaten by a bird can be achieved by calculating the ratio of survival/number of eaten snails

Where the number of eaten snails = 174

The number of survivors = 26

Estimated proportion = 26/174 = 0.1494

Therefore, the best estimate for the proportion of all snails of this type to live after being eaten by a bird will be 0.149 approximately.

Step-by-step explanation:

The top and bottom margins of a poster are each 15 cm and the side margins are each 10 cm. If the area of printed material on the poster is fixed at 2400 cm2, find the dimensions of the poster with the smallest area.

Answers

Answer:

the dimension of the poster = 90 cm length and 60 cm  width i.e 90 cm by 60 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given question.

Let p be the length of the of the printed material

Let q be the width of the of the printed material

Therefore pq = 2400 cm ²

q = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}[/tex]

To find the dimensions of the poster; we have:

the length of the poster to be p+30 and the width to be [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p} + 20[/tex]

The area of the printed material can now be:  [tex]A = (p+30)(\dfrac{2400 }{p} + 20)[/tex]

=[tex]2400 +20 p +\dfrac{72000}{p}+600[/tex]

Let differentiate with respect to p; we have

[tex]\dfrac{dA}{dp}= 20 - \dfrac{72000}{p^3}[/tex]

Also;

[tex]\dfrac{d^2A}{dp^2}= \dfrac{144000}{p^3}[/tex]

For the smallest area [tex]\dfrac{dA}{dp }=0[/tex]

[tex]20 - \dfrac{72000}{p^2}=0[/tex]

[tex]p^2 = \dfrac{72000}{20}[/tex]

p² = 3600

p =√3600

p = 60

Since p = 60 ; replace p = 60 in the expression  q = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}[/tex]   to solve for q;

q = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p}[/tex]

q = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{60}[/tex]

q = 40

Thus; the printed material has the length of 60 cm and the width of 40cm

the length of the poster = p+30 = 60 +30 = 90 cm

the width of the poster = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{p} + 20[/tex] = [tex]\dfrac{2400 \ cm^2}{60} + 20[/tex]  = 40 + 20 = 60

Hence; the dimension of the poster = 90 cm length and 60 cm  width i.e 90 cm by 60 cm.

Which of the following sets would have a graph with an open circle on 5 and a ray pointing right on the number line?

Answers

Answer: Choice C  [tex]\{x | x \in \mathbb{R}, \ x > 5 \}[/tex]

The open circle means we do not include the endpoint, hence the use of a greater than symbol. If we were to include the endpoint, then we'd have greater than or equal to. We can rule out choice B due to this reasoning.

The ray pointing to the right indicates we are talking about x values larger than 5, so we can rule out choice A and conclude the answer is C.

g(x)= 20

2x= 20+4

Solve the two-step equation.
-9x + 0.4 = 4
Which operation must be performed to move all the constants to the right side of the equation?

Answers

Answer:

x = -0.4

multi-step equation

Step-by-step explanation:

subtract 0.4 from 4 and 0.4 so it cancells out,

0.4 - 0.4 = 0 (cancelled out)

4 - 0.4 = 3.6

then bring down -9x and divide -9 from both sides

-9/-9 = 0 (cancelled out)

3.6 / -9 = -0.4

x = -0.4

Answer:

x = -0.4

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

-9x + 0.4 = 4

First, the operation to move all the constants to the right side is subtraction since we would have to subtract 0.4 from each side, let's see this:

Now, we have all the constants on the right side of the equation.

Now, the operation we need to perform to isolate the variable is division (since the x has a -9 that is being multiplied by x) we need to do the opposite operation:

Thus, the answer to this equation is x= -0.4

An insurance policy pays a total medical benefit consisting of two parts for each claim. Let X represent the part of the benefit that is paid to the surgeon, and let Y represent the part that is paid to the hospital. The variance of X is 5000, the variance of Y is 10,000, and the variance of the total benefit, X + Y, is 17,000. Due to increasing medical costs, the company that issues the policy decides to increase X by a flat amount of 100 per claim and to increase Y by 10% per claim. Calculate the variance of the total benefit after these revisions have been made

Answers

Answer:

= 19300

Step-by-step explanation:

Each claim consists of two parts = X + Y

where

X = the benefit that is paid to the surgeon and

Y = benefit that is paid to the hospital

V(X) = 5000, V(Y) = 10000 and V(X+Y) = 17000

So V(X+Y) = V(X) + V(Y) + 2cov(X,Y)

17000 = 5000 + 10000 +2 cov(X,Y)

17000 -15000 = 2cov(X,Y)

2000 = 2cov(X,Y)

cov(X,Y) = 1000

Now X is increased by flat Rs. 100 per claim and Y by 10% per claim

total benefit = X+100+Y+0.1Y = X+100 + 1.1Y

V(total benefit) = V(X) + 1.1²V(Y) +2(1.1)cov(X,Y) [ V(aX+bY)

= a²V(X) +b²V(Y) +2abcov(X,Y) and V(X+c) = V(X)]

= 5000 + (1.21*10000) + (2.2*1000)

= 5000 + 12100 + 2200

= 19300

an amount was invested at r% per quarter. what value of r will ensure that accumulated amount at the end of one year is 1.5 times more than amount invested

Answers

Answer:

[tex]r=25.7\%[/tex] will ensure that accumulated amount at the end of one year is 1.5 times more than amount invested

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: An amount was invested at r% per quarter.

To find: value of r such that accumulated amount at the end of one year is 1.5 times more than amount invested

Solution:

Let P denotes amount invested and n denotes time

As an amount (A) was invested at r% per quarter,

[tex]A=P\left ( 1+\frac{r}{400} \right )^{4n}[/tex]

According to question, accumulated amount at the end of one year is 1.5 times more than amount invested.

So,

[tex]A=1.5P+P=2.5P\\A=2.5P\\P\left ( 1+\frac{r}{400} \right )^{4n}=2.5P[/tex]

Put n = 1

[tex]P\left ( 1+\frac{r}{400} \right )^{4}=2.5P\\\left ( 1+\frac{r}{400} \right )^{4}=2.5\\1+\frac{r}{400} =(2.5)^{\frac{1}{4}}\\\frac{r}{100}=(2.5)^{\frac{1}{4}}-1\\r=100\left [ (2.5)^{\frac{1}{4}}-1 \right ]\\=25.7\%[/tex]
